Buon appetito!

In Italy, dining is always a celebration which explains Costa's superb cuisine. Meal times are important; it is essential to have a pleasant environment, the right company and a smiling, attentive waiter nearby plus good quality wines to challenge connoisseurs! All of this is possible on a Costa cruise: enjoy breakfasts and lunches in the relaxing atmosphere of the ship’s buffet. With fresh pasta, authentic Italian meals and more, you can choose to dine indoors or al fresco. The main restaurant is the place to meet in a formal setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Choose from early or late sitting to enjoy traditional Italian cuisine, recipes of international style and meals inspired by the places visited.

For the health conscious, the Spa menu offers low fat, low carbohydrate, low calorie and low cholesterol courses. Available daily in the traditional restaurant during lunch and dinner. Caesar salads, fresh fruit, made to order sandwiches and tempting desserts are all just a phone call away with Costa’s 24hour room service. And what would an Italian style cuisine be without authentic Italian pizza?

For alternative dining, you can indulge with a sumptuous menu, fine wines and exquisite preparation in one of the speciality restaurants.
